System Details
- Device: Cret
- OS: ChromeOS (tried to install Fedora)
- Firmware Type: RW_LEGACY
- Firmware Version: Can’t run script, dev mode refuses to turn on
- Internal storage type: eMMC
Summary of the Issue
NOTE: This machine was unenrolled on 142 via Quicksilver.
When I enter dev mode (esc refresh power, Ctrl d, enter), it gives me the Developer Mode boot menu. I boot from internal disk. It shows the messages about transitioning to dev mode and preparing system for dev mode. Reboots. I select boot from internal disk and the cycle repeats.
I tried everything - recovering, letting it do the cycle 10 times, nothing.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Put Cret device into dev mode, install RW_LEGACY, run CRAP (I resized stateful to 13GB).
-
Install Fedora, run keyd script & audio script.
-
Reboot in Fedora, select ChromeOS.
-
ChromeOS fails to boot and power washes. Mount stateful in fedora and wipe the encryption key to make it reset.
-
ChromeOS boots for 1 boot, then the power wash cycle rebegins.
-
Reenter Dev Mode, and the dev mode cycle, as described above, begins.
Expected Behavior
The Dev Mode loop shouldn’t have happened and ChromeOS and Fedora booted fine.
